All concerts begin promptly at 7:15pm in the auditorium. To maximize safety, we are limiting admission to two guests per musician. All guests are required to wear face coverings while in the building and to social distance. We are working out the details to live-stream these performances.

The meeting will be in our auditorium. Social distancing and masking protocols are required. Use this link to register for the event as space is limited.
